Product Authentication

Verify genuine products with a simple scan

Enable instant product authentication through Digital Product Passports. Each product, or each individual item, can carry its own digital identity that consumers, retailers, and authorities check with a simple smartphone scan.

The Challenge & Our Solution

The Problem

In the secondary market and cross-border trade, verifying product authenticity is critical but difficult. Retailers receiving goods from distributors need to confirm they are genuine. Consumers buying pre-owned luxury goods or electronics want assurance of authenticity. Regulatory authorities need to identify non-compliant products at the border.

The Solution

MyProductPassport gives each product a unique identifier, a GS1 Digital Link address when it has a GTIN, tied to its full product data. The passport works as a brand-issued record, with product specifications, manufacturing details, and compliance declarations that only the genuine manufacturer can provide. Scan analytics show where passports are checked around the world.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is authentication different from anti-counterfeiting?

Authentication verifies that a specific product is genuine. Anti-counterfeiting prevents fake products from being made. DPPs support both — providing verification data and making counterfeiting detectable.

Does this work for second-hand products?

Yes. The DPP persists with the product through ownership changes. A new owner can scan the QR code to verify authenticity and access product information.

What data is shown when a product is authenticated?

The passport displays manufacturer details, product specifications, materials, compliance status, and manufacturing date — information that only the genuine brand can provide.
